2006 350z Simple SQ install

[Benihana 10+ year member]

Here is a simple system I put together for my Z. I bought some parts used and some new. I installed it by myself and cut up most of my fingers doing it, but well worth it in the end. Amps/wires are hidden in the cubby behind the seat, so don't mind the mess inside it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kenwood KDC-x994 hu = $225 new

RF Punch 200dsm mids/highs amp = $50 used

RF Punch 200ix sub amp = $40 used

DLS Ultimate UX26 in Fiberglass Kicks = $225 used

Custom 350z sub enclosure = $100 new

RF Punch P3D210 10" Sub = $90 new

Dual amplifier wiring kit + acc. = $50 new

Total = $780

How did i do?

I really like that you bought kicks made for the car, as well as a box. car audio isn't worth ******* up such an awesome car.

I guess I would have gone with different equipment, but the install is nice.

Yeah its a set of kicks/speakers that was built by Bing that I bought used from someone on my350z.com . I really like the dls speakers they are laid back and not harsh at all. I looked up the speakers and they seem to cost a fair bit of cash by themselves, so I think i got them at a steal.

I got the box from sonicelectronix, it has a bit more airspace than zen's, but looks very similar.

Overall i'm very happy with the sound, but sometimes I can tell the sound is coming from under the dash, will ambient tweeters in the a-pillars help in this regard?

And I do have some small resonance issues with the kicks, how would i go about fixing this?

For the kicks, you can try to pick up some duct-seal from Home depot or Lowes. It's a butyl compound that like modeling clay. Line the walls of the kicks with it, about 1/4" thick or more.
